This week highlighted the main paradox of Russia’s war against Ukraine. At the Ramstein-format meeting in Berlin on April 15, Western allies pledged more than $45 billion in military aid, the largest single commitment since Russia’s full-scale invasion began. Since then, Russian missiles and drones have struck Ukrainian cities, killing dozens of civilians and reducing apartment buildings to rubble. Ukrainian officials described these as some of the deadliest attacks since July last year. JOIN
